Chop-Chop Killing Joke

[Verse 1]
Take a walk to the new town, take a look around
Pretty road names pass us by, a foundation sound
They paint their walls and ceilings white to feel clean inside
Ten square miles so synchronized I could have cried

[Pre-Chorus]
And the bodies go by barely half awake
Awaiting things to come again, nice things to come
It's such a nice environment I'm in, I wonder why I'm here
And the bodies go by barely half awake

[Chorus]
All but the few ever notice anything at all, oh dear
All but the few ever notice anything at all

[Verse 2]
I've got a nice new wristwatch with a bright red strap
The second hand really moves quite fast - I'd never thought of that
And then I pick up my picture book to compensate and sigh
It's back to fiction once again, I could have cried

[Pre-Chorus]
And the bodies go by barely half awake
Awaiting things to come again, nice things to come
It's such a nice environment I'm in, I wonder why I'm here
And the bodies go by barely half awake
